The biggest reason for such a high turnover was that new hires “felt a lack of connection when they were first hired.”
In a multi-day, immersive format, participants discover what makes the region unique, Nashville’s history, the region’s economy, the inner workings of our public and private sectors and the “it” in the “It city,” all while establishing new relationships with local business and community leaders.
MAKE YOUR TEAM FEEL AT HOME.
